Description

Plastic Emotions is a novel based on the true life story of Minnette de Silva, the first female Sri Lankan architect. In this gripping and lyrical tale, Shiromi Pinto charts de Silva's affair with Le Corbusier and her efforts to build a post-independence Sri Lanka.

Set against the backdrop of significant global turmoil in the mid-20th century, Plastic Emotions explores the life of a young, trailblazing south Asian woman navigating complex politics and personal relationships. From the communal violence that forewarned the rise of civil war to her struggles with building a new city in north India, de Silva's story is marked by key moments in subcontinental history.

This novel offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a pioneering figure who defied convention and pushed boundaries in a rapidly changing world. With its unique blend of politics, romance, and personal drama, Plastic Emotions is a compelling read for anyone interested in the intersection of history, culture, and identity.
